Chuck Edwards - builder article
« on: November 14, 2013, 10:48:13 PM »
There's a nice write up about gun builder Chuck Edwards feature in the winter edition of Out Here Magazine put out by Tractor Supply Co. - it's also available on line here:
http://www.tractorsupply.com/out-here_2013-Winter_master-craftsman

He was also featured on the cover - since it's an article about a builder I figure it's OK to have it posted in this section..........
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Chuckle chuckle....... I have always loved Chuck's guns and his engraving, either American or English is top notch. I paid him to engrave my 1740 English rifle... no way I could do that style.  He is a terrific person.

It is always nice to see a Chuck Edwards thread. I have been in that shop several times. Own a few of his master pieces. The article made feel like I was there again.

Chuck builds some nice stuff.  You kind of have to have a feel for what you are doing, some guys have it, a lot don't.....Don
